October 28, 200915 yr comment_74765 Does anyone have information as to why Detonator's down at the moment? I can't remember seeing Detonator having a period of downtime for longer than a day before, and this time it's been down since Monday.

I can't remember seeing Detonator having a period of downtime for longer than a day before, and this time it's been down since Monday.I think I posted this elsewhere but I think it's the platform that takes the car up, it wasn't releasing or something because I remember seeing it up there with an engineer on top, when it did re-open though there was alot of oil (or what I though was oil) on the hook that connects the platform to the car, but then again, I could be wrong.

October 29, 200915 yr comment_74909 Detonator is now back in operation! :)Dare you take on the drop in Calypso Quay?
October 29, 200915 yr comment_74929 Went on Detenator for the first time in 3years on the 18th october and loved it such a great ride!
March 6, 201015 yr comment_84913 I love Detty. It was my first tower ride (other than TOT in Orlando). It's the only ride that no matter how many times I ride it, I still have butterflys in my stomach. Really amazing ride.
March 11, 201015 yr comment_85704 Does anyone else get a weird feeling in their feet when they jump off it too fast? I always seem to get a rush of blood to the feet and jump off too soon and end up having really painful feet for the next 5 minutes
March 11, 201015 yr comment_85708 I get that too if I get out to quickly, just dont rush getting out!!
March 11, 201015 yr comment_85716 Yeah each time I go on it now I take longer to get off because its so painful when it happens ! Not good
March 11, 201015 yr comment_85744 I'm glad someone mentioned the pain in the feet because I often get it if I get up too quickly and none of my friends understand what I am going on about!
March 11, 201015 yr comment_85770 My feet have always been fine and I am always one of the first off of the ride usually!
March 11, 201015 yr comment_85771 My feet have always been fine and I am always one of the first off of the ride usually! If I get off straight away I get a feeling of extreme pins and needls in my foot!
March 11, 201015 yr comment_85773 The problem what I get is that I wanna get off it as quick as possible and get to another ride otherwise people usually just push u out of the way and run forward to rejoin the queue so I try to avoid that but I seem to jump off and when I land I get these horrible feeling in my feet and its just painful to walk. Any ideas as to what it is? I spose it could be the rush of blood from being at high altitude to low altitude in a matter of seconds and the feet arent used to it quickly? Glad I'm not the only one who gets this pain!!!

March 11, 201015 yr comment_85783 My feet have always been fine and I am always one of the first off of the ride usually! Same, I'm not really sure what people are talking about!
March 15, 201015 yr comment_86399 Basically it's the rush of blood to your feet after the high amount of G Force experienced on the ride. It will take a few seconds for the blood to get circulating properly again.I always just wiggle my feet and toes before I get off and it usually sorts things out for me. Don't get off too energetically
March 25, 201015 yr comment_87628 After riding Detty three times yesterday, is it just me or is it not as forceful as it used to be? Maybe I'm just used to it.
March 25, 201015 yr comment_87642 After riding Detty three times yesterday, is it just me or is it not as forceful as it used to be? Maybe I'm just used to it.My guess is it's a mix of the 2. The release mechanism has probably worn out a bit over the years and you have got used to the force. Stick your legs and arms out if you want a more forceful ride.
March 25, 201015 yr comment_87652 On Sunday I thought it was more intense than usual. Same but that was the first time I stuck my legs out.. after some convincing from Peaj .
